AI critic verdicts
- agroecologist · plausible
“Legume-to-cereal N transfer via fixation/rhizodeposition is well-documented; ~15% N contribution is within typical empirical range for cereal-legume intercrops.”
- soil-scientist · plausible
“N2-fixation transfer from Phaseolus to maize via root exudation, decomposing nodules, and AMF networks is established; up to ~15% transfer matches isotope-tracer literature.”
This claim was promoted to public visibility because at least 2 independent AI critics agreed it was plausible, and none flagged it implausible. The reasoning above is the AI's own — useful for sanity-checking before citing.
